The Cleveland Indians are one win away from heading back to the World Series! After yesterday’s 4-2 win, Cleveland could return to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1997 with a victory in today’s game. Down 0-3 with their season on the line, the Toronto Blue Jays will turn to Aaron Sanchez, while the Indians look to former Cy Young Award-winner Corey Kluber, who will pitch on short rest. Will Cleveland complete the sweep? We’ll find out this afternoon!

WHAT TIME DOES THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS VS. CLEVELAND INDIANS GAME BEGIN?

First pitch for the Indians and Blue Jays game is scheduled to take place at 4:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE CLEVELAND INDIANS VS. TORONTO BLUE JAYS GAME?

The Blue Jays/Indians game will be available to watch on TBS, which means it’s also being livestreamed on TBS.com and the Watch TBS app. Unfortunately, you’ll need to authenticate with a cable provider if you want to watch the game on TBS.com or the Watch TBS app, so get your (or your friend’s/parent’s!) login credentials ready!

Cordcutters can watch via Sling TV, whose Orange and Blue packages carry TBS (more on Sling below).

Another option is MLB.TV’s Postseason Package, where you can watch every World Series game and select Postseason games live for $9.99. While every Blue Jays/Indians game is available, eligible subscribers must authenticate though a (you guessed it) Participating Pay TV Provider.

And let’s not forget about PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to TBS.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Orange package, which includes access to ESPN, ESPN 2, Comedy Central, and TBS, normally costs $20 a month, but the company is currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
